Fecha de publicación: | jul-2009 | Editor: | Wiley-Blackwell | Citación: | Journal of Morphology 270(7): 843-855 (2009) | Resumen: | In many fish species, morphological similarity can be considered as a proxy for similarities in habitat use. The Sparidae family includes species that are recognized for common morphological features such as structure and positioning of the fins and specialized dentition. The aim of this study was to quantitatively describe the relationship of body shape morphology with habitat use, trophic level, and systematics in the majority of known Sparidae species (N 5 92). This ecomorphological comparison was performed with a geometric morphometric approach considering as variables the Trophic Index (TROPH), the habitat (i.e., classified as demersal, benthopelagic and reef associated) and the phylogenetic relationship of species at the subfamily level. The analysis by the TROPH variable showed a positive relation with shape because the morphological features of all the species are strongly correlated with their trophic behavior (e.g., herbivore species have a smaller mouth gap that make them able to feed upon sessile resources). The morphological analysis according to the Habitat variable was used to classify species according to a feeding-habitat niche in terms of portion of the water column and seabed space where species mostly perform their behavioral activities. We described three kinds of morphological designs in relation to a benthopelagic, demersal and reef-associated habit. The six subfamily groups were morphologically well distinguishable and the cladogram relative to Mahalanobis' morphological distances was compared with those proposed by other authors. We also quantified the phylogenetic relationship among the different subfamilies based on the analysis of shape in relation to trophic ecology, confirming the observations of the authors. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc | Descripción: | 13 pages, 9 figures, 1 table | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1002/jmor.10725 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/83897 | DOI: | 10.1002/jmor.10725 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1002/jmor.10725 issn: 0362-2525 e-issn: 1097-4687 |
